    As long as it also brings dwarves, orcs, space goats, etc. to Diablo 3 with WoW themed areas and rifts I'm in.

    Yes, they do what you expect they do, if I understand the question. I have one of these, came with one of the kits I bought at some point: Philips 458141 Hue Dimmer Switch - - Amazon.com I can use that to turn the lights off and on instead of barking at Alexa, but can also still use the app...

    Not for me. Madden is why I still own consoles and I get more from Origin and EA Access than I probably do from Steam sales.

    Anyone tether or have a plan that allows you to use a hotspot for more than 10gb/mo? Wife got a Jetpack and was sold a bit of a BS when she bought it and was upgraded to unlimited on Verizon. Dropping to 3G with a few days of vacation left sucks. At least it will reset before she heads to...

    No Man's Sky

    Probably something coming, unless this is just the work of some crazy employees rather than some guerilla marketing. The Mysterious No Man's Sky ARG: 16 Cassette Tapes, Hidden Codes, and Creepy Voices At $25 I'll probably go ahead and pick it back up. I'd gotten a refund of the full game...

    Read some interesting stuff about the landing today. I didn't realize that they don't come down on the ship until after the engines ignite, so if there's an engine failure it misses the barge. Once they fire they make the lateral adjustments. Today it used up every bit of emergency fuel and...

    Cool. I like that system, but the games are annoying to setup so we never play them. Signed up w/ your link, looks like a friend did too. That jumped me like 6400 people in line, lol.

    ZeniMax to judge: Block Oculus sales or give us 20% Earlier this year, ZeniMax won a $500 million judgment against Facebook-owned Oculus and many of its executives for illegal use of ZeniMax's VR technology and copyrights. That wasn't the end of Oculus' legal trouble, though. The company is now...

    Smartphones

    Yeah, I got mine through Amazon, so any warranty service (that expires in less than a month) means I have to take photos of all sides, ship it to Huawei and will be without a phone for a month. So instead I'm going back to a real phone company next month.

    Isn't that only comparing price? Their cheap PC build opens saying you'll get 30-60 fps at 1080p and can't really do 1440p/4k. Your link says they expect performance more in line with the $230-$299 RX580 'but better' as that's not a 4k gaming card either. (and then again, the $600 PC in your...

    Switch crossplay with Steam and Xbox. Awesome. I wish they'd patch the exclusive assets into the other versions, so Steam players see mario hats and the Xbox cars, etc.

    Yeah, personally I'm probably EA bringing Madden back to PC (maybe cross-buy with Origin?) from being done with consoles and letting that be a thing my kids enjoy. Have to think MS's strategy is going to force Sony to make the PS5 BC if that wasn't already in the cards. Hard to see them going...

    Most people buying it will already have a bunch of games for it. Then there's EA Access that gets you a couple dozen games and 10 hour trials of brand new ones (Battlefront 2, Madden, etc), Gamepass gets you over 100 titles. All improved by the One X.
